ABOUT US
We operate in London and surrounding areas.
Homelessness is an important factor in re-offending. More than half our tenants are ex-offenders and we have only had about 10% of them re-offend. This is way below the average for all ex-offenders.
We house a lot of rough sleepers, but we will house people who are homeless for other reasons, too. This includes prisoners who are due for release, sofa surfers who have outstayed their welcome, people who are about to be evicted and so on.
During their tenancy we stay in touch with our tenants whenever we are needed. We expect our tenants to contact us with the housing problems they would usually take to their landlord. Some of our tenants have little or no experience of renting in the private sector and this way we ease the path a little for them.
